Fractures ( 58 Questions)
Which type of fracture occurs due to twisting or rotational forces on the bone?
Greenstick fracture: A greenstick fracture involves the bone bending and partially breaking, usually seen in children. It is not caused by twisting forces.
Transverse fracture: A transverse fracture occurs when the bone breaks straight across its long axis, not due to twisting.
A spiral fracture occurs due to twisting or rotational forces on the bone, resulting in a twisting break along the bone's length.
Comminuted fracture: In a comminuted fracture, the bone breaks into multiple pieces, which is not associated with twisting forces.
